BREAKING > Trump On Syria: 'Get Ready Russia' Because Missiles 'Will Be Coming'[W:235]****

Re: BREAKING > Trump On Syria: 'Get Ready Russia' Because Missiles 'Will Be Coming'

There's lots of 'real' issues. Your biggie is jobs (or is that just the only area that you can say is a positive?) and national security (don't know what that's about- the border wall?) but for other people the big issues are different. For some, it's just basic honesty, can you believe anything the President says? For others, it's 'is that guy just an amoral sleazebag?' Because that kind of thing matters to some people. Some are very worried about the future in a global economy, trade-pact-wise, others wonder why nobody addresses the violent crime rate, lots of people want health care fixed and the seeming lackluster performance of the school system has others worried.
There's lots of issues, and you can't pick out the only one that looks positive and call it the 'real issue'.
Don't care what someone says but rather what they do. Did you have this same outrage over actual Obama lies that affected people? What has Trump said that has hurt you, your family or the country?

Jobs do matter as does security. To me nothing else matters and I believe I am in the majority

Definitely one of the worst of your broken record, stuck on repeat lines.

We'll send rockets and bombs to Syria, just don't have Syria send us any refugees. That chemical attack killed more Syrians than Trump is willing to let in.

Assad must go, if we want to fix a problem with refugees. Putler needs tham so he keeps Assad the butcher in power in 40% of "Syria"

The American people always vote their pocketbooks and are sick and tired of liberal witch hunts, lies and personal attacks. Your opinion noted

ok, so a D matters in your world not results? What expectations do you have for that Democratic Controlled congress since apparently 3 million more employed in one year after Obama left office, a U-6 rate of 8%, the doubling of the Obama GDP growth rate, and tax cuts putting money into the pockets of the American people don't seem to be issues for you.

I wonder how many disgruntled, porn-hating Protestants will sit on their hands at home.

Possibly about the same number as those "disgruntled, porn-hating, Protestants" who devour the attack ads (and internet web sites) - especially the more graphic ones involving porn stars, nude models, and kinky sex - because they are "studying the issues".

You might want to revise that 40% in light of this 14 APR 18 map of who controls what in Syria (sorry, the graphic exceeds allowable size). That map shows that

  1. the "Good Guys" (that's the "Rebels" and their associated terrorist supporters) appear to control around 10%,
  2. the "Really Good Guys" (that's the Kurds and their associated terrorist supporters) appear to control around 20%,
  3. the "Really Bad Guys" (that's ISISISISILDAESHWHATEVER which is all terrorists) appear to control around 10%, and
  4. the "Bad Guys" (which is the legal government of Syria) appear to control the remaining 60%.

You might want to note that there are no "refugees" coming from the parts of Syria where there is no fighting going on AND that, even if Mr. al-Assad were removed then the "Good Guys (and their associated terrorist supporters)", the "Really Good Guys (and their associated terrorist supporters)", and the "Really Bad Guys" would continue the fighting since the one factor that they all have in common is that they want to be the sole group in charge.

Probably the only one of those three that is marginally better than the others is the "Really Good Guys (and their associated terrorist supporters)" because they only want to be the sole group in charge of PART of Syria and they really don't care if the "Good Guys (and their associated terrorist supporters)", the "Bad Guys (and their associated terrorist supporters)", or the "Really Bad Guys" control the rest provided that none of them are attacking the "Really Good Guys (and their associated terrorist supporters)".

I answered that u-6 specious argument in another reply, look for it.


I can list a litany of reasons why contempt for Trump is rational, reasonable, and justified.

I can find none for the right's hatred of Obama, I can only find items with which to agree or disagree.

Contempt for Trump is one thing but total ignorance of his results are another and that is the issue. Waiting for what foreign policy the Democrats in Congress would implement if they re-took the Congress and why exactly didn't Obama enforce the red line in the sand. As stated many Times I DON'T LIKE TRUMP but like his results and that is all that matters. Think Assad gets it yet?

You want to discuss the economic results there is a forum for that and I am there. I welcome the opportunity to educate you on reality there as well. Trump did what Obama failed to do in Syria and our enemies are taking note

Aw yes quarantine the Trump Agenda of rebuilding our defense and restoring our credibility in the world? Got it. Interesting how we have been told that Trump has alienated our allies only to find out that the attack on Syria was joined by the UK and France. Don't see the radical left addressing that reality nor you.

As I have stated our enemies are not boy scouts thus we shouldn't have a boy scout dealing with them. Trump is no boy scout but Trump send a shot heard around the world by our enemies. When Trump says he is going to do something he does it. All I see from the radical left is naivety and a Rodney King approach of appeasement and "can't we all just get along." I am thankful that we have a President that won't cater to the radical left or our enemies, America first and we are winning as the actual results both economically and foreign policy show. Assad got the message, think he is sleeping well at night?
 
Re: BREAKING > Trump On Syria: 'Get Ready Russia' Because Missiles 'Will Be Coming'

Contempt for Trump is one thing but total ignorance of his results are another and that is the issue.

The upward trajectory started by Obama continued throughout his two terms, and into the Trump's first term, noting that Fiscal year begins on Oct1, so what "results? are you talking about? What, the U6 stat? That's a really thin argument:
https://www.jbartlett.org/u-3-or-u-6-federal-unemployment-rates-explained

Should the current state of economic malaise become the ‘new normal’ as some have suggested, changing the designated official unemployment rate would be worth some serious consideration, although stretching to the U-6 would be a bit far.

The tax bill is his only major legislative accomplishment that could possibly effect anything, and that won't be felt for awhile. However, soaring deficits are predicted, and history reveals it causes inflation, so whatever minuscule tax breaks imparted to the middle class, the inflation likely ensue will erode those gains entirely, while the rich's benefits from that bill, which is 87% of that bill, will remain intact because the rich can hedge like no other. That tax bill represents a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich more than any bill passed in history. It's a total disgrace.

Anyway, what kind of "accomplishment" is a tax bill for republicans, they usually are a slam dunk, and this one almost didn't get passed, he's the first prez in conservative history that didn't get a slam dunk on a tax bill, and it's a stinker.

The EO reversals, many, of not most, are insane, I can show you the list of things he's repealed and if you think they are good, you should hold your head in shame:

Here are but a few (about 1/3 the total list, can't put them all here).

Complete list with commentary on each:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...what-trump-has-undone/?utm_term=.dd79c0d5a42a

Reversed an interpretation of the Civil Rights Act that provided protection to transgender workers.

Ended a rule that barred employers from taking some or all of the tips given to service employees.

Canceled a rule mandating that financial advisers act in the best interests of their clients.

Ended a rule that allowed consumers to file class-action suits against financial companies.

Ended limits on the ability of states to drug test those seeking unemployment benefits.

Reversed a policy allowing states to develop their own work requirements for welfare recipients.

Revoked an executive order that mandated compliance by contractors with laws protecting women in the workplace. Before the 2014 order, a report found that companies with federal contracts worth millions of dollars had scores of violations of labor and civil rights laws.

Blocked implementation of a rule that would have made it easier for farmers to sue big agricultural companies.

Repeal of a bill that mandated that employers maintain records of workplace injuries.

Removed information about worker injuries from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration website.

Reversed restrictions on providing surplus military gear to police departments. Those restrictions were implemented by the Obama administration after the unrest in Ferguson, Mo.

Reversed a ban on civil forfeiture. Law enforcement officials are now once again able to seize assets from suspects who haven’t been convicted of any crime.

Reversed the government’s position on a voter ID law in Texas. Under the Obama administration, the Justice Department argued that the law had discriminatory intent. Under Sessions, Justice withdrew that complaint. On Wednesday, a federal court threw out the law.

Waiting for what foreign policy the Democrats in Congress would implement if they re-took the Congress and why exactly didn't Obama enforce the red line in the sand.

Sorry, Obama took the action to congress, in the belief that congressional support would make the action stronger. He was totally willing to enforce the red line, and had every right to get congress on board. but......

S.J.Res.21 never was taken to the floor for a vote. So don't give many any crap about obama not enforcing the "red line".

As stated many Times I DON'T LIKE TRUMP but like his results and that is all that matters. Think Assad gets it yet?

You want to discuss the economic results there is a forum for that and I am there. I welcome the opportunity to educate you on reality there as well. Trump did what Obama failed to do in Syria and our enemies are taking note


Stats aside, the greater concern is that we have a buffoon and a pathological liar in charge of the nuke football.

As far as I'm concerned, every other issue is moot until Trump is taken down, due to the fact he is a threat to our national security.

What you have to remember is the fact that all things are true of the empty set.

PS - If you can't figure out what that last sentence actually means then I'm afraid that I can't help you - but I'm sure that you will be able to invent something that sort of looks like it resembles an interpretations of what it comes close to meaning.


Otherwise known as the "vacuous truth", eh?


For the mathematically challenged (as am I), as commented on by Bertrand Russell, I prefer just to call it
a meaningless statement.

Look, we have been warned to not discuss economic issues on this thread so if you want to be schooled in the actual data go to the Govt. spending and debt forum and I will educate you how the upward trajectory of jobs filled by 8-9 million part time positions doesn't bode well for the American public and how the base number of 146 is the right one so for 9 years there were 6 million jobs created. But this thread is about Syria and Obama drew a red line in the sand, he didn't need Congressional support but his lack of leadership skills and very poor decision making traits only is supported by leftwing radicals who don't understand leadership either.

Obama's resume showed that he was unqualified for the position and his loss of the peace in Iraq and his failure to act in Syria embolden our enemies. They knew that Obama was a paper tiger and took advantage of that. That isn't going to happen with Trump who has the leadership and management skills you leftists can only dream about. Trump enforced the Syria Red line and our enemies now have the message. we are safer as a results

I really don't care that people like you are concerned about who has the nuclear football but hope our enemies now operate like you for that makes us safer. No enemy knows what Trump is going to do except when he says something he will deliver. Trump is keeping his promises on America first and rebuilding our national security. I sleep well at night again knowing he is in charge. Our enemies know that we have rebuilt our credibility and our missiles, those of the UK and France put us back in a leadership position around the world. Thank you Obama for giving us Trump
 
Re: BREAKING > Trump On Syria: 'Get Ready Russia' Because Missiles 'Will Be Coming'

I thought you believed Trump was in Putin's back pocket? Maybe he confused Trump with Obama who told the Russians that things would be different and better after he was re-elected. Hmmm

You realize he announced what he was going to do and that he tells the Russians where the strike is going to be so we don't end up starting WWIII. Of course, telling the Russians where we're going to strike gives Assad time to move anything that matters out.

But hey, there were Big Explosions, so hurrah!

we were joined by the UK and France which many here said he had alienated. Trump keeps destroying the liberal narrative but that doesn't stop the speculation. You have no clue what Trump did with Russia and totally ignore what this country, the UK and France did to Assad. Keep up the hate filled rhetoric and watch this country rebuild our defenses from the Obama malaise and our enemies learn to fear us again making us safer. You leftists don't have a clue and are so full of hatred you cannot see any actual positive results.

I like that turn of phrase.

Yep, just like the statement "All Unicorns have six horns." is "logically true" since it is impossible to produce a "Unicorn" that DOES NOT have "six horns".
 
Re: BREAKING > Trump On Syria: 'Get Ready Russia' Because Missiles 'Will Be Coming'

As I have stated our enemies are not boy scouts thus we shouldn't have a boy scout dealing with them.

Tillerson was an eagle scout, FYI.

NO, we don't need a boy scout, but we don't need a sex predator, financial scammer, dictator lover, pathological liar, vile and petty mouthed bloviator, constitution violator, etc etc etc, either.

I've got one thing to say to Donald Trump:

Robert Mueller III.

You like Trump because he's quick on the draw, and that caters to the impish desires of his base.

That's no mark of a great president.

I constantly hear repubs say "Obama was afraid act militarily", and I wonder where that idea comes? Heck, in 2016 alone he dropped 26,171 bombs all over the middle east.

Sure, I'll accept that Trump can occasionally make a few right moves, the story isnt over, and the truth will be known, and his crimes will be plain to see in the years to come. And my bet is that you are betting on the wrong horse.

You've been conned by the master, and I admit, he's good at it.

Fortunately you didn't include the graphed results because they make it look like the "employment gain" is (essentially) "flat" from 2011 onward.

On the other hand, I am sure that "Conservative" will take issue with those so-called "statistics" since they don't say what he would like them to say (and come from a totally unreliable, left-wing, liberal, socialist, source at that).
 
Re: BREAKING > Trump On Syria: 'Get Ready Russia' Because Missiles 'Will Be Coming'

we were joined by the UK and France which many here said he had alienated.


And he will continue to alienate the world. You're making a mistake in logic, that the recent bombings is now equal to Trump love,
that's absurd. Uk and France, they dont like Trump, but they are pragmatists.


No, Trump will continue to infuriate foreign leaders, and the reason is Trump will be Trump, and he can't help himself that he is, at his core, an empty vessel, a despicable human being.
 
Re: BREAKING > Trump On Syria: 'Get Ready Russia' Because Missiles 'Will Be Coming'

Assad must go, if we want to fix a problem with refugees. Putler needs tham so he keeps Assad the butcher in power in 40% of "Syria"



Not to agree with your solution, but if to attempt your solution, why not accept Syrian refugees in the meantime?
